Random Beer Thoughts

[tikk]

I didn't think anyone would want my crap

People aren't going to turn down free beer, it's a way to get people to like you.













tosh

"I just thought it was funny that my comment seemingly triggered the locking of that thread..."

This is what spawns so many internet ********. They do something that gets a reaction, and it make the little hairs on their tiny testicles tingle, so they do it over and over because they don't have anything better going on in their life that gives them that same feeling. You're better than that. At least I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt since you are on talkbeer.

You people buy way too much ******* beer.

I've finally broken this habit. I only buy beer I intend to drink relatively soon or stuff I know I like to age. I just have a bunch of **** left over from my "raid Total Wine for singles I haven't had" phase.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Oh it has gotten much better. We are down 400 bottles from where we were. And have flipped a lot of it over to mead.

Meh, I don't think that it was quite like that in my mind. I don't think my post in this thread would have gotten much attention at all except that it was seen as a criticism of the moderator(s) which is not at all what I meant it as.

We can move on now, and hopefully no one holds any negative opinions over misunderstanding the intentions of anything I said.

Came for story, got story. It was pretty boring, but what can you expect for people at home on a Friday night. Then admitted to a hoarding problem. Cheers!

I will happily send a label to anyone stuck with hordes of beer they don't want.






Mikey will drink anything...

I have a comment to make in support of your original post, but I'm at a bar and drunk so it's going to wait until later.

Also the legibility of this post is solely due to Swype autocorrect.

See if someone asks me to send them something, I will feel bad and send them things I want to drink. You see this as a win-win, I am sure.

Ive never once drain poured a beer.
I bought it, I'm going to drink it.
Well, sometimes I've shared with the dogs. They are really just an extension of ourselves though so that doesn't count.

I can send you a Boomsauce to drain pour. Trust me, you'll want to.

 

[jupiter6xx]

I just dumped eight or nine bottles and couldn't feel better. I'm sure there's more but that's just what was in front of me without going too deep

You've inspired me. I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

Ive solo'd bottles of Horse Piss ale and ghost face Killah among many other horribly and god awful tasting beers.
If any beer can ever get worse than those, please, accept my address and dare me.

i dont really understand this. if something tastes like ****, why is it a badge of honor to finish it? if you had food that tasted like absolute **** would you eat it cause "you paid for it"? or maybe its just that beer gets you drunk so you finish it? idk...just me though.

I just have incredibly low standards. Send me your worst. Srs. I'll ship that ****. I'll even send some random good locals back your way.... Even if that totally defeats the point.

And ****, thinking of shipping to Chicago reminds me that I owe jakeox a box.

I have plenty of other booze to get me drunk if that is all i really cared about.

Somewhere, someone thought this beer was good enough to produce is some quantities and distribute it in some form. Might as well give them the benefit of the doubt and taste it al the way through.


Beer!= Food
Bad analogy

 

[Gonzoillini1]

Drank this tonight with imperialking at my local spot (Brixies in Brookfield IL for those in the know), and it was surprisingly impressive.

A huge thick / viscous "barleywine" with lots of oat / rye like mouthfeel characteristics and huge barrel aged character to complement a rich sweet intense beer. Was $7 for 7oz, and one was enough, but was very enjoyable for what it was.

This beer kind of came out of nowhere for me as well, I hadn't heard anything about it before walking in tonight.

 

[tosh1]

Take away from tonight.

Going to run a LIF to get people to like me. Will send all the ***** from my cellar that I don't want to drink.

My '11-'14 abyss vertical is in need of a new home. I like this option.

Just pour it down the drain. It's really cathartic. I have room in the apartment now and I don't have to stare at these damn bottles anymore.

I don't even bother opening the bottles or recycling the glass. I just started walking cases of beer out of the house and heaving them straight into the dumpster about a year or two ago. Probably ended up throwing away 8-10 full cases of beer over the course of a few months. So, so cathartic. It really is the best. Haven't regretted it for a moment.

thx for the hat tip Gene

Beer drama vent:

Got in such a ****** argument on twitter... a local beer writer posted Weihenstephaner dunkel hefe and said "god bless the purity law". I couldn't resist and pointed out that it was the exact style the purity law was trying to stop. He replied with a bunch of random purity law facts that had no bearing on anything and that didn't make sense such as:

"Bavarians certainly wanted it that way, other Germans not so. Brewer old me today Reinheitsgebot just as much a mindset as a law"

So tried to bail on it with a link to a Ron Pattinson history of the law like "**** this rubbish I'm out, read this". His responses:

"the law has changed significantly. And the nobility were brewing wheat beers in Bavaria after 1516. Ah, the rich"
"Don't tell the Germans its rubbish. They get very upset."

Now I'm just like **** bro... what are you even saying. You aren't even saying anything.

******* purity law, it has to be the best beer marketing scam in modern times.

Tell him he's a noob for still drinking that and ask him when he's going to discover "sours".

Well **** you too Dan.

If you don't know then you don't know. Lobbing a huge, stinky **** grenade into a thread and watching chaos ensue is just as cathartic as throwing away terrible old beer. Srs Biznss thread is testament. It was even better doing it on BA.

If you don't like chicken or watermelon something is wrong with you, mothafucka.

Bought a bottle of Big Bad Baptist with dinner last night at Epics brewpub for $22.
Went to the state run liquor store today and they had it for $12.50.

That's ********. **** them.

 

[FTowne1]

I took my daughter to Red Robin a couple weeks ago (it's her favorite place to eat) and I noticed that they had GI Sofie so I ordered one to nurse while we had dinner. Next thing I know our waitress brings out an entire 765(?)ml bottle and sets it on our table.

Uhhhhh...

So there I sat, with my 8 year old daughter and a giant bottle of beer on our table. I could feel the judgement from everyone who passed by.

I'm assuming that the bus boy chugged the remaining half of the bottle I had to leave behind.
